Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 293: Rebirth of the Son-in-law (2)

He gave the order and the butler came over quickly.

He leaned over to the butler's ear and whispered a few words. The butler showed a look of surprise, but quickly nodded, and quietly left with a few strong night patrol guards.

Ning Ning walked leisurely inside again, entered the inner courtyard, and went straight to Aunt Liu's courtyard.

The night watchman had already sent a message to Aunt Liu, and she had already gone to bed, but she had to get up in a hurry, feeling very impatient.

He was still mumbling, "You said he was here for a social event, but he went out to drink wine. He had to drink until late at night and came back to bother me. I don't know how he got his clothes wet, and he even crawled into the yard. I couldn't even get a good night's sleep. It's really..."

As they were talking, Ning Ning came in. She forced a smile and said, "Master, why are you here at this time? Oh, why are you all wet? Xiao Cui, quickly get some dry clothes for Master to change into. Oh, you should take care of yourself at your age and don't work too hard. Miss Rao and I are counting on you - ah!"

She chattered on and walked over, went behind the screen, and helped Ning Ning change her clothes. Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished changing her clothes, she was slapped in the face!

She was hit so hard that she staggered and only managed to stay put by holding onto the screen.

Although she was a concubine, her original owner was not a mean person. Even the servants in the house were rarely beaten. She was always doted on and Ning Rao also respected her. She had never suffered any hardship since she entered the Ning family. This was the first time she was beaten. She immediately covered her face in grievance and tears flowed down.

"Master, what's wrong with you? I served you, what did I do wrong to deserve you to beat me in public? How can I live in the Ning family in the future?!"

She had already been cursing in her heart, "You old bastard, you came to vent your anger on me after drinking yellow wine in the middle of the night. Humph, sooner or later I will make you die without knowing how!"

Oh, that’s not right. This old guy suddenly got angry. Could it be that he knew about Qi Menglai?

That's why he was in such a mess, even his clothes were wet. Oh, why didn't I think of that!

But he should go find Qi Menglai, why is he taking his anger out on me!

He can't misunderstand that I did it!

Aunt Liu was so frightened that she even forgot to cry, and she had no idea what Ning Ning was thinking, so she almost stood there in a daze.

Ning Ning sneered, "You've done something wrong to me, and you still want to stay in the Ning family? You're just dreaming!"

"I, I have always followed the rules, how could I do anything to let the master down?"

Aunt Liu tried to explain herself hastily, but at this moment, the housekeeper came over and said that the person had been caught. Ning Ning waved her hands angrily and asked them to bring the person in. Aunt Liu felt something was not right.

When she saw the guards viciously bringing in a man who was tied up and gagged, her body suddenly went limp.

"Cousin, why is it you? Why did they arrest you?"

"Woo, woo!"

The man struggled to say something, but his mouth was blocked tightly, so he could only howl, his eyes widened so much that his eyeballs almost popped out.

Ning Ning snorted coldly, and Aunt Liu felt as if cold water was poured over her head. She immediately realized that this was not the time to be gentle and kind to her cousin. She had to get Ning Ning's approval first.

So she crawled in front of Ning Ning and tried desperately to hug Ning Ning's legs, but was pushed away by Ning Ning.

She cried and begged for mercy, "Master, I am innocent. My cousin's family suffered a disaster and he had no choice but to come to me. But I am a concubine and my family is not a real relative of the Ning family, so I can't come to the Ning family. I can only use my own money to rent a small courtyard for him to stay temporarily. I know it is wrong to subsidize my family privately, so I dare not mention it to you. I have never done anything to let you down!"

Ning Ning, "I haven't told you that you did something wrong to me yet, aren't you denying it a little too quickly?"

Aunt Liu was stunned, secretly regretting her own loss of direction. Isn't this a clear sign of a guilty conscience?

But the words have been said, and only a fool would admit such a thing, so I might as well just follow this topic and say, "I'm not stupid, don't I know what the master means? There must be a villain who said nonsense to the master, so the master misunderstood me. If I don't say anything, won't I die unjustly!"

Ning Ning nodded, "Someone did tell me, otherwise I wouldn't know what you did! But the person who told me wasn't some villain, but my good son-in-law Qi Menglai. Humph, if it weren't for him, I would still be kept in the dark by you, a bitch! Bitch, a lot of your private belongings were found in that courtyard, even your bellyband, and the adulterer has confessed, and you still dare to say that you are innocent with him?!"

Aunt Liu shuddered and looked at Ning Ning in disbelief. Her heart was pounding, not knowing what Qi Menglai meant.

Didn’t they agree to work together to plot against this father and daughter and give her 30% of the family property in the future?

Why did he suddenly betray her again?

In fact, they had reached a deal in the original plot. Aunt Liu went out to meet her cousin secretly and was discovered by Qi Menglai, who used the evidence against her to force her to cooperate with him, and he would give her 30% of the family property in the future.

As a concubine, Aunt Liu had no share in the family property. It was a pleasant surprise for her to get 30%, so she agreed without hesitation.

Afterwards, she really cooperated with Qi Menglai and forced Ning Rao to death.

However, this kind of cooperation was unequal. Qi Menglai certainly did not tell Aunt Liu all of his plans, so Aunt Liu only knew that Qi Menglai was going to take action against Ning Ning, but she didn't know when.

Later, after Qi Menglai took over the family property as he wished, he naturally did not fulfill his promise.

He was just "merciful" and allowed Aunt Liu to take away the money she had saved over the years and live together with her cousin.

Aunt Liu only then realized that she had been cheated, but she did not dare to turn against Qi Menglai, so she could only take the money and leave angrily.

So she suddenly realized just now that Ning Ning was in such a mess today, it must be Qi Menglai who attacked him, but Ning Ning did not die, which meant he failed.

But why would Qi Menglai betray her?

She shuddered suddenly. Yes, it was because he failed that he betrayed her to take the blame for him.

Qi Menglai must have said that she had an adulterer, which was why she hoped Ning Ning would die and wanted to harm her.

You are such a good bastard, Qi Menglai. Even if I can’t get better, I will never let you get away with it!

So, she cried and said, "Master, my cousin and I have been childhood sweethearts, and our two families wanted to arrange a marriage for us, but my family later suffered a disaster, and my parents had no choice but to sell me for some silver, and then I entered the Ning family. This time I met my cousin again, I was confused for a moment, and I did something wrong with him, I have no way to defend myself. But I can't admit to something I didn't do. I found out that Qi Menglai had a private relationship with the boatman of the painted boat, and he wanted to harm the master. He had discovered the affair between my cousin and me before, and it must be that the conspiracy failed, so he put the blame on us. Master, you have to make a wise judgment!"
